1-0 pirates, over the cubs, top of the 1st.  i dont know if that makes anyone feel any better so far         

Wait.

 

Are the Cubs in the AL Central?

Grady you are no match for Boone, go away.

I don't think anyone cares to be perfectly honest.

I do

Grady sizemore's cheering section sounds like the 11 year old girls who used to drown out Beatle's concerts with their high-pitched shrieks.

Also possible we avoided serious injuries by not overworking our main guys.  Just a thought.

 

Good point.

 

Again, this isn't a video game. Starters need days off. While I'm not sure that the second game of a series is the best time to do it, we had won 17 of the last 20 going into today and will still be in first place after we lose this game. It's not like we were in desperate need of a win today. If you want to point fingers, point them at Buehrle.

 

My God... :rolly

I do   

K. I think one person cares to be perfectly honest.

 

Boone k's Michaels, the Indians have nothing on Boone.

I do   

 

lol

 

Someone dig up the cubs and Sox fans thread to show how many people do care...

You take our normal lineup, we can absorb the two non hitters in it.  When you sprinkle the 3 to 4 subs with that, you take out Dye and Thome, its a formula for crap.

 

Buehrle giving up 3 runs in the 1st inning wouldn't have helped the regulars, let alone the subs. This loss I pin solely on Buehrle's performance and he'll be the first to tell us that once this game is over. Plus, JD's was trying to play hurt and it was a good move by Ozzie to take him out when it started raining. No need to keep playing him when it was obvious early on this wasn't the Sox' game to win.

Eh, so we split in Cleve. that's like a loss to them. You're not supposed to split a 2 game series at home. I'm over it.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

WOW

 

Boone owned the Indians.

I'm not gonna pile on, but I've never been a fan of Uribe's offense.  Pull up my old posts or ask the guys who would chat during games last year.  He rarely seems to have a plan at the plate or even understand the game situation or what is required of him at any particular time.  His swing is the same just about every time and nothing about it suggests that he is trying to do anything besides hit the ball as hard as he can hopefully within play and not right at someone.  I've always been amazed that hits above .200.

 

he's a free swinger, but he's also a fantastic fielder. He's not going to stay below .200 for long, he'll warm up.

BOOOOOONE!

5 k's in 2.1 innings for THE Boone Logan.

Jeff who?

I hope this builds his confidence so that he can do this in pressure situations.

1.86 era for Boone Fantastic.

5 k's in 2.1 innings for THE Boone Logan.

Liriano approves of Logan's performance.

Buehrle wet himself. The criticism concerning today's game shouldn't be with the lineup. Sunday lineups are acceptable when your supposed ace is one the mound.

 

You rest players when you have either Contreras or Buehrle going. These two are pitchers which almost always guarantee a quality outting. Alternatively, Guillen should concentrate on putting put the regulars when Garland and Garcia are pitching--where more than 4 runs may be required to win. This is atleast how I feel it should go.

 

Problem is this is Tuesday against someone who could give us problems this year

Liriano approves of Logan's performance.

 

logan > liriano

here comes a crooked number....

logan > liriano 

I wouldn't trade Boone for Liriano.

 

And I'm dead serious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you actually think I'm serious, you're retarded.

Buehrle giving up 3 runs in the 1st inning wouldn't have helped the regulars, let alone the subs.

19 men LOB is also an issue today.

 

We had guys and then turned it over the back end of our lineup, who did nothing.

 

Cintron 5 left on

Uribe 4 left on

Widger 3 left on

Boone looked good, would loved to have seen him face off against Hafner as that's going to happen down the line.
